Journals it is used to record the business transaction it contains debit and credit lines always debit must be equal to credit. Types of journals are Suspense Journal or Unbalanced Journal, Recurring Journals and Reversal journals.

You can dynamically create new account code combinations when entering data by enabling dynamic insertion in the Key Flexfield Segments window. The alternative method for this is, you can require all accounts to be define manually in the Accounts Combinations window.

Points to Remember:

Dynamic instertion can be enabled or disabled at any time.

You can define cross validation rules to prevent incorrect account combinations from being created by dynamic insertion.

If you are defining an Accounting Flexfield for Oracle Projects, you must define your segment with the Allow Dynamic Inserts option set to Yes.

Pay the amount for received goods within due time set by the supplier( Pay the invoice and account it)

Since you are not paying the amount immediately, you need to keep track of the amount needs to pay to the supplier after phase one. You maintain this amount in LiabilityA/C(Cr). After second phase, you debit your LiabilityA/C and credit your CachA/C which shows your cash flow from your organization to the supplier.

Standard Cash:

In case of Standard Cash, only payment accounting will be there.

Reason: While purchasing an item you pay amount immediately to the supplier. So you don’t have any debt to the supplier to record. so there is nothing to record in LiabiltyA/C.

Need to assign qualifiers to individual accounting key flexfield segments to identify or represent the purpose in COA.

Natural Account Each Accounting Flexfield structure must contain only one natural account segment. When setting up the values, you will indicate the type of account as Asset, Liability, Owner’s Equity, Revenue, or Expense.

Balancing Account Each structure must contain only one balancing segment. Oracle General Ledger ensures that all journals balance for each balancing segment.

Cost Center This segment is required for Oracle Assets. The cost center segment is used in many Oracle Assets reports and by Oracle Workflow to generate account numbers. In addition, Oracle Projects and Oracle Purchasing also utilize the cost center segment.

Intercompany General Ledger automatically uses the intercompany segment in the account code combination to track intercompany transactions within a single ledger. This segment has the same value set and the same values as the balancing segment.

Use secondary ledgers for supplementary purposes, such as consolidation, statutory reporting, or adjustments for one or more legal entities within the same accounting setup.

For example, use a primary ledger for corporate accounting purposes that use the corporate chart of accounts and subledger accounting method, and use a secondary ledger for statutory reporting purposes that use the statutory chart of accounts and subledger accounting method.

This allows you to maintain both a corporate and statutory representation of the same legal entity’s transactions in parallel.

Reporting Currency Vs Secondary Ledger:

Reporting Currencies are not the same as secondary ledgers. Looking at the 4 C’s that define a ledger, we have a chart of accounts, calendar, accounting method, and currency. If you only need multiple currencies to support your reporting requirements, use reporting currencies. If you need to account for your data using different calendars, charts of accounts, accounting methods in addition to currency, use a secondary ledger.

Typically, the last day of the fiscal year is used as an adjusting period to perform adjusting and closing journal entries. Once you begin using your accounting calendar, you cannot change its structure to remove or add an adjusting period. Choosing whether to include an adjusting period or not in your calendar is a very important decision. You can have an unlimited number of adjusting periods.

Making payments to the suppliers in 3 ways. what ever you have ordered for the PO we will make the payment for the suppliers in 2-way(we will compare two documents PO and Invoice).

eg:Suppose we Had given PO for 100 items ,for that we will receive invoice for 100 items. so that we will make payment for that 100 items. 2) In 3-Way we will compare 3 documents PO+reciept+Invoice Eg:Suppose we have ordered 100 items in PO. But we had received only 80 items ,But we had received invoice for 100 items. so, we will make payment for only 80 items 3) IN 4-Way we will compare 4 documents PO+Receipt+Invoice+Inspection Eg:Suppose we have 100 items in PO. Suppers send us 80 items We will do inspection on those items what ever we have received, If 10 items got damaged. finally, we are going to make payment to the 70 items only.

Payables uses payment terms to automatically calculate due dates, discount dates, and discount amounts for each invoice you enter. Payment terms will default from the supplier site. If you need to change the payment terms and the terms you want to use are not on the list of values, you can define additional terms in the Payment Terms window.

This particular program is run in order to transfer un-accounted invioce to next opened period during period end closing of Accounts Payable. In fact you can’t close Payable Period if you have Un-Accounted Invoice in Payables. In order to negotiate (Transfer) these invoice to next open period this program is run. So that the Payable period can be closed.

Standard Purchase Order: It’s a legal document to buy the goods or services by supplier it will be created when we know the goods or services, price, quotation, delivery schedule and accounting distribution and also is one time purchase order

Blanket PO: Blanket PO is created when you know the detail of the goods or services you plan to buy from a specific supplier in a period, but you do not know the detail of your delivery schedules.

Planned PO: Planned PO is a long–term agreement committing to buy items or services from a single source. You must specify tentative delivery schedules and all details for goods or services that you want to buy, including charge account, quantities, and estimated cost.

Contract PO: Contract PO is created when you agree with your suppliers on specific terms and conditions without indicating the goods and services that you will be purchasing.

Approval hierarchies let you automatically route documents for approval. There are two kinds of approval hierarchies in Purchasing: position hierarchy and employee/supervisor relationships.

If an employee/supervisor relationship is used, the approval routing structures are defined as you enter employees using the Enter Person window. In this case, positions are not required to be setup.

If you choose to use position hierarchies, you must set up positions. Even though the position hierarchies require more initial effort to set up, they are easy to maintain and allow you to define approval routing structures that remain stable regardless of how frequently individual employees leave your organization or relocate within it.

Standard Invoices: Standard Invoice are invoices from a supplier representing an amount due for goods or services purchased. Standard invoices can be either matched to a purchase order or not matched. Standard invoices must be positive amounts.

Mixed Invoices: Mixed Invoices can be matched to both purchase orders and invoices. Mixed invoices can have either positive or negative amounts.
